[edit]

Could somebody please add that his wife Arja survived the accident (despite being thrown from the car), and that Berg was survived by two children

"Short period with Miles Davis"

[edit]

I have issues with the affirmation that Berg stayed in Miles Davis' band only "for a short period", which is somewhat derogatory, considering he played with Miles for 3 years, from 1984-1987, which is actually a lot longer than some of the other (also great) saxophonists that succeeded Bob, like Gary Thomas or Rick Margitza, who only stayed for a few months. Even Bill Evans, who preced Berg, stayed for a shorter period.

So I propose to change "the short period" to "from 1984 to 1987" as it is on french and german language Wikipedia pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.113.82.51 (talk) 17:57, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
